serenity cucumber browser unique session per feature

Question

I'm looking at serenity (the following versions)

<serenity.version>1.1.26</serenity.version>
 <serenity.maven.version>1.1.26</serenity.maven.version>
 <serenity.cucumber.version>1.1.5</serenity.cucumber.version>

I have feature files F1, F2, F3.

I'm looking for support to run all the scenarios in F1 (only) to run in a single browser session.

The scenarios in F2 and F3 can run in a "browser per scenario" mode.

How to achieve this?

Did my answer help you or do you need more info? – David Baak Mar 16 '16 at 18:24 — David Baak, Mar 16 '16 at 18:24

Cucumber hooks do the job for you.

import cucumber.annotation.After;
import cucumber.annotation.Before;

public static WebDriver DRIVER;

@Before
public void setUp() {
  // start browser if it does not exist yet
}

@After
public void tearDown() {
  // clean cookies
}

Note that I use the cucumber before, not the JUnit before.Do make sure you have a reference to the DRIVER in your tests. The hooks wil run before and after each scenario (or example if you use scenario outline). If you want a specific setup for certain annotated features, for example:

@slowtest
Feature: F1 feature

Then you can use:

import cucumber.annotation.After;
import cucumber.annotation.Before;

public static WebDriver DRIVER;

@Before("@slowtest")
public void setUp() {
  // start browser if it does not exist yet
}

@After("@slowtest")
public void tearDown() {
  // close browser or clean cookies, or....
}

Conclusion you can use cucumber hooks in combination with annotations in features for custom setup and teardown.

Where does it specify that OP will have separate browser for each feature file? — paul, Apr 26 '19 at 01:50
